Scholarship Description: ICFO, in collaboration with the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya –
BarcelonaTech (UPC), is offering a predoctoral fellowship to well-qualified
graduate students who wish to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly
and stimulating environment, as well as to obtain a doctoral degree in any of
the Photonics-related research fields. ICFO PhD students are enrolled in the
PhD Program in Photonics that targets the most advanced topics in optical
sciences and technologies, and have access to cutting-edge experimental
infrastructures, specialized seminars, tailor-made training programs and active
mentoring by ICFO Group Leaders. Entrepreneurship, commercialization techniques
and seminars in the area of professional and personal development are also an
integral part of the curriculum. The successful candidate will be working at
ICFO as part of the Ultracold Quantum Gases group led by Dr. Leticia Tarruell.
The group focuses on the experimental study of ultracold atoms in the quantum
degenerate regime, and their potential to simulate condensed-matter phenomena
in a highly controllable environment. In particular, we are interested in the
possibility of engineering a wide range of artificial quantum materials by
loading these atoms in non-standard optical lattices, and on developing novel
techniques to prepare them and probe their properties. Specific topics of
interest include the physics of quantum magnets, graphene, quasi-crystals and
multi-orbital systems. The candidate will participate in the design and
construction of a new experimental setup for the production of degenerate Bose
and Fermi gases, and conduct experiments on these topics.
